David Hogg tries to fight Dana Loesch over the NRA and ‘loopholes.’ It does not end well.

On Friday, prominent gun control advocate David Hogg tried to pick a fight with conservative Dana Loesch, who serves as spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association and staunchly defends the Second Amendment.

It did not end well for the high school senior.

What happened?

It began when Loesch responded to a critic on Twitter, who claimed “universal background checks” are only required by nine states and that a “gun show loophole” exists. Loesch, of course, refuted the critic’s claims with facts.

No, there are no loopholes. Sales are federally regulated and 18 USC 922 details such. Breaking the law is a criminal act, not a “loophole.”

What was the response?

While Loesch ignored Hogg’s provocation, others did not do the same. They took the high school senior to school over non-profits organizations and what that government classification really means.

Now do Planned Parenthood… – 501c3 as well – Tens of millions in profit/year– Receives ~$500,000,000 in annual government funding– Literally kills unborn children for money– Gave more money to Democrats than NRA gave to Republicans in 2016

Clearly you do not understand how nonprofits work, nor the laws governing them. Please go do a little research. They should have taught you how to do that by now, no matter how much school you've missed.

Hey, Diaper Boy, the NRA is a 501 (c) (4), not a (c) (3). Big difference. Same as the ACLU and AARP. Donations aren’t tax deductible. Now Planned Parenthood actually is a 501 (c) (3). You can deduct your support for abortion from federal income tax, not for NRA support. #NRA#2A
